Pad & Quill iPhone and iPad cases: Labor Day giveaway!

Pad & Quill make some of the finest hand-crafted cases ever to grace the iPhone and iPad and just to put the perfect topped on the Labor Day weekend, they want to give some away to our fantastic iMore readers.

If you love the moleskin look, if you like nothing better than to swathe your metal and glass in wood and leather, if you absolute love it when the most advanced computing platforms on the planet are beautifully balanced with the very best of out-world binding, then you'll love Pad & Quill

This case is the epitome of class. The iPad is arguably the worlds best tablet and it deserves to be wrapped in the worlds classiest case. Soft leather exterior, beautiful birch frame; the iPad alone gives you a good user experience it's the case that takes you to the next level.

Oh boy where do I start.
1. I love the book look, I've compared this to so many different brands and this product just looks awesome and is designed so well (not to mention one of the only ones made in the USA)
2. I love the true leather look on the outside and the unique colors on the inside (blue being my favorite)
3. The wood cutout just looks like it was made from great quality wood and fits the iPad better than any of the other brands
4. The sound Channel is such a simple idea but truly brilliant, I've been finding different ways to make that effect with my iPad since no other case has that
5. The magnetic on/off features really shows how PQ tries to fully utilize all the features on the iPad, the only other case that I found that uses that feature is the Apple Smart cover.
Overall this product looks FANTASIC and SOPHISTICATED, and is brilliantly designed. JOB WELL DONE PQ

I get so frustrated carrying a phone AND wallet everywhere. I've looked around for something classy, and not found anything with leather. I've resorted to putting my phone in the zippered part of my wallet. I look ridiculous! My buddies mock me for carrying around a woman's wallet. Besides never winning anything, I'd like to stop being mocked. I emplore you to help.

I like that it is not a typical ipad case so most people may not even know its a ipad which would deter theft. I also like that it has a inside pocket to hold essential papers and its light weight. Oh and I LOVE that i comes in purple.

I'd love this because my iPhone case JUST broke, and I love how sleek this looks! I also love how it would disguise my phone like a James Bond Moleskin. Very sneaky. I'd pretend I was sipping my shaken-not-stirred martini (hot cocoa) while overlooking the wintry St Moritz ski resort outside (the parking lot outside my apt in Iowa).

I currently have a DodoCase and am looking to upgrade to something sturdier, as I both have a kid who could drop it ans *am* a kid who could drop it. I thought about the Octavo for the leather, bu I'm drawn to the simplicity and the very bookishness of the cloth one. I don't think of myself as really flashy and NEED THE LEATHER, so I'll vote for the cloth one? :)

I've said it again just recently. In this day and age, there really is no excuse for poor design. It appears to me that Pad and Quill hold the same belief. While many case makers seem bent on altering the iPad experience, P&Q seem to appreciate the elegance and sharpness of the device, while using different craft materials with equal design ideals in mind.
Through the descriptions of all cases, you can see that they strive to maintain & possibly enhance functionality. Protecting an investment shouldn't take away any of the owner's enjoyment of it.

I chose this one because it has the propping feature and the beautiful leather surrounding the ipad. I wouldn't be able to afford this on my own, but I can certainly appreciate the product that you've produced. It has an elegant look to it and I'm sure it feels the same. Thanks for giving us an opportunity to possibly own one. :)

Why this case? Well I have to imagine if Gandalf carried an iPhone 4S this is the case it would be in. I am sure if he did they would have gotten to the Black Gates much sooner, and been able to become Foursquare mayors of Mordor.
Yes, the Little Black Book Case is $5 cheaper than the Little Luxury Book case, but this is an Apple product. You can't pay the premium for the bite out of a granny smith logo and then cheap out on an accessory. It's hand made in America Damnit and though he would have no idea what America was, if the Grey Pilgrim was getting a case for his iPhone, he would want the genuine leather to match his pointy hat.

These are the most beautiful cases I have ever seen, I have been in love with them since i first saw them here on imore. I love the sound channel and imagine the wood can only make the sound more rich. I chose this case because I love the feel of soft genuine leather, and I never really stand my ipad up so I dont really need the version with the fancy cover. My new iPad is my favorite gadget ever, and I would love to show it off to all my friends at work in a beautiful pad and quill case.

I always carry my iPhone 4S "nude" as it was meant to be held, that way I can see and feel its beauty. But I've always loved to read books and write long stories in my leather Moleskine Notebook.
For my first Smartphone, and first Apple Product having a case this creative and innovative combines both by views in an elegant solution. I absolutely love this case and now want it even more. It's elegance and beauty are simply stunning!

Been a fan of theirs since few years back. Loving my Kindle Keyboard Case, Nook Case. All form Pad & Quill. The quality of their cases are unbeatable. The fresh smell of the wood, and the precise crafting, it makes it worth what it costs.

Love the cutout for the camera...tried doing this to another company's product on my own (well, had a shoe cobbler do it)...the results don't look nearly as good as this effort!! Great job and great attention to detail.

This notebook case looks is probably second to none. Anyone carrying it around will feel that it isn't an iPad inside, but just a common and in your face notebook. Open it up and you get a lot more than just paper sheets!

This case in black would be the perfect companion for my iPad!! Functional and professional. Should help me in using my iPad for work! This contest came just in time as my old plastic case just broke today so here's to hoping that I win! :)

I like this one cause it looks better than my Bookbook and I would to win one so I can compare the two of them side by side and give a real review. This iPhone case very elegant, nd I like how the black rubber band goes around the case and I like the camera hole. I also like to have everything in one place, this replace my wallet. Hope to win.

I have an iPad 2. It took me all year to save up for it. I use it to teach students all over the state i live in as i work for the state ofkfice of education. Id like to care for my ipad 2 with this classy case. It would make me look more official and more professional and help me care for a product that helps me help so many teachers and educators theoughout the state.

I would have to say since I finally just graduated from college this case would look awesome on my desk next to my diploma. It will also help me look more of a professional when I bring to my office once I find my new job.

I was looking at the different iPad cases and instantly noticed the Octavo Luxury case. I couldn't help but just want to touch the leather, well I wished I could. There's nothing like the look and feel of nice leather. I want this case because of it's luxurious, stylish and unique look. In a work place of iPads it's always nice to stand out, for these reasons!

I hope I win this case for my iPad. I picked it because I need A case to protect my iPad while im using it for school, and plus this case looks B-E-A-Utiful. I like the material with the Spanish bond leather and it has a secret pocket inside which is always a plus for a student. I love how It looks like a book n its so unique and sophisticated and elegant! Hope i win! Fingers crossed.

An onyx black Little Luxury Book with mahogany red interior would be perfect for my bride-to-be. My fiancee and I are getting married in a little over a month and she's been lusting for one of these for quite a while. However, she didn't want to spend the money so it could be put towards the wedding. The combo of wallet and the protection it would afford the phone would be perfect for her.

The case is very nice, i can disguise my phone so my profesor wont see because i sit in the front of the room, the leather is beautiful, i can alo use it as my wallet on a day out, have everything in one thing instead of bunch of things in my bag ! Thanks Imore!

I would love this case for a couple of reasons. First, I definitely want a case that props up at multiple angles for viewing and typing capabilities. In addition, it offers unmatched protection while, at the same time, appearing professional and suitable for any working environment.

Because when I roll this out in the meeting room with my peers, I see the scene unfolding like American Psycho except instead of a "bone" toned business card I'll have a French Roast Pad & Quill for my own personal Bateman-like nemesis to digest!

Where do I begin????
My son has been an avid customer of Pen and Quill and currently uses the Little Luxury Book for his IPhone and the Octavo IPad2 case. Whenever he takes out his phone or his IPad2, he makes a point of fondling each leather cover, smelling the amazing quality leather and rubbing it in my face! Let me just tell you that you had me at the first whiff of that leather! It is a thing of Beauty!!!
I am currently using the "Twelve South Book Book" and your "Luxury Book" puts it to shame. A little fact that my son reminds me of at least 5 times a day! It is absolutely beautiful! The leather surpasses anything I have seen. With the pocket for holding cards etc., there is no need to carry anything else. I am so impressed with the little details like the elastic around it and the beautiful stitching and the intricate cut out for the camera lens, the use of wood with the leather....
On to the next amazing thing about this case....the craftsmanship involved in the wooden phone cradle/frame...astounding! The way it is layered and hand carved make it strong and one of a kind. My husband, a carpentry supervisor at a local college is amazed that there is someone who cares about attention to detail in this way. Why hasn't someone thought of this before??? It keeps the phone so safe and secure while showing the pride of a true craftsman! The quality and construction surpass anything on the market. May I just say that this case is truly a thing of beauty! (One that a son shouldn't have before his mother) Whether I win this case or not, I commend you on an amazing product! I would be so proud to have one! This case will stand the test of time while making its owner shine as someone of impeccable taste and class! Another thing to be proud of…..Made in the USA!!!
I would be thrilled to win this and be proud to show it off to everyone! You really have come up with an outstanding product! Kudos to you Pen & Quill!

I love the leather wrap on it as well as the Black onyx which matches my cars leather interior perfectly. Plus its got cool little pockets for business cards and such. I have a case for my 3rd gen ipad but not as luxurious as this one.

It's smaller than the luxury book, and you have more options in terms of color. While the luxury book may be nicer, large cases don't go well with pockets. There is only about a tenth of an inch difference, but the smaller the case, the better.

Because Im a college student now and started taking my iPad to school to take notes... I currently have no case on my iPad and now have a fear of getting more scratches on it.... And I like that it would blend in with my binder and look like a textbook as I carry it around campus. Pretty groovy case.

These cases appear to be well crafted and use natural materials. Nothing turns me off to a case like the small of synthetics and oil. I like the multiple angles this case offers, the elastic band to secure the case from "flying" open if it falls, and the solid wood frame to protect the device. The best part about the cases MADE IN THE USA! Supporting American businesses.

I would love to have this case for the gift that my kids gave to my husband and myself....we have purchased one of your items for our son's laptop and know what quality you share with the community....plus you are in our backyard and we LOVE to support our locals! Kudos to the craftsmanship that your company takes such pride in!!!!! Fingers crossed!!!!!!!!!

Love the case! They are stylish, exquisitely
Designed and put together. The manufacturer
Took great care and thought into the structure and concept of this case. This tells me that they care about the quality of work that their customers are receiving and they make products not only for people to talk about confidently, but that will be around to go up against the competitors and come out on top.
